Custom Flames on Black Mustang by Mark Phillips


My brother owns his own body shop in Astoria, Oregon and over the weekend he sent me these pictures of a custom flame job he sprayed on a black Mustang for one of his customers...

These are before any wetsanding, cutting and polishing...


Nice work Mark...


:dblthumb2:
 
Wow those are very very good!

Pat your brother on the back for me the next time you see him.
 
Super job for sure. I have always liked flames, thou I've never owned a ride worthy of them. Flames on a 2.8L Colorado....Not so much. HeHe

Same here, but not so sure how good flames would look on my corolla or my ladies prius! ;)
 
Very nice! A lot of intricate airbrush work. I wonder how long this job took him to spray?

I can ask him...

He paints a lot of hot rods and in the past built and painted custom choppers.

What's funny is when we were growing up he always thought I was wasting my time working on cars and then he ends up owning his own shop working on cars...


:laughing:
 
What a treat it is seeing painted-flames...
Instead of a bunch of decals!!

-Your Brother does excellent work Mike. :dblthumb2:

-Wish he lived closer...perhap he'd be interested in spraying some ghost-flames on a vehicle I have in mind.

That's pretty funny, Mike...I kind of thought when I saw this thread that you got your start buffing in your brother's shop, but I guess not.

Funny how that works out, huh?

I'm just a naturally curious person & have had the privilege of watching a local airbrush artist (Von Otto) work on a few projects & the time involved is tremendous. Not to mention the talent required!
 
Those are some really good true fire flames.
It takes a great amount of skill with a lot of practice to make flames like that. The last picture is really cool because something is hidden in the fire and I didn't notice until my 3rd look.
Each paint job will get more and more intricate.

I've worked on a lot of flame jobs and you're right, these are very well done, I'll ask him how much time he put into this as I think a lot of people will be interested.

I agree...

Took me a few second looks to make sure I was seeing what I was seeing...


:D
 
Very nice work Mike, I've always been a fan of soft flames! :props:

Do you know how much clear was applied over the flames?
